Track Insight / Lyrics
Moth wings, pale as paper thin
Caught on iron, can't let go within
Summer dusk, a heavy sigh
Trapped on rusted ladder, reaching high
Cigarette smoke curls and clings
To broken dreams and whispered things
The world keeps turning, night and day
But here he's stuck, caught in the fray
Pale Ladder Blues, he sings the song
Of broken wings and where he belongs
A flicker of light, a fading spark
He's lost in shadows, in the dying dark
He sees her face, a distant gleam
Lost in the neon's hazy dream
She walks by, never sees his plight
Just another soul in the city's light
Cigarette smoke curls and clings
To broken dreams and whispered things
The world keeps turning, night and day
But here he's stuck, caught in the fray
Pale Ladder Blues, he sings the song
Of broken wings and where he belongs
A flicker of light, a fading spark
He's lost in shadows, in the dying dark
The night wears on, the moon climbs high
He waits for dawn, a silent cry
His wings are frail, his spirit worn
He yearns for freedom, newly born
Maybe someday, wings will mend
He'll rise above, transcend
This iron hold, this lonely place
Find solace, find his own grace
Pale Ladder Blues, he sings the song
Of broken wings and where he belongs
A flicker of light, a fading spark
He's lost in shadows, in the dying dark
The sun breaks through, a golden hue
He knows his time will come anew
He'll find his strength, he'll take his flight
And leave these shadows, in the morning light
Pale Ladder Blues, a memory fading
He's lifted up, a new world waiting
A flicker of hope, a brighter star
He's free at last, who he truly is.
Whispered dreams, the night recedes
A new beginning, seeds are freed.
